Hi,
Does anyone have stock Android images for the LTE version XT 1039?
With the current Motorola stock firmware the phone seems to struggle with some apps and light games like Angry Birds Seasons and thought maybe a lighter firmware would solve the issue.
My previous non LTE Moto G was much faster.
Thanks.
Hello my friends. The time has come for me to let the optimus G PRO 2 and try a new phone. I said that i won't buy LG anymore... because they gave a s**t kitkat update to my G .. and than after i bought the G Pro 2 they forgot about our device , and now it's "dead" in terms of development.
So i bought a Galaxy S5.
What i want to say.. for people who know.. we have a group on facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/lggpro2/
I will continue to support this group(moderate+add new users).
However it's time to pass the legacy to another optimus G PRO 2 user... so feel free to apply for admin function in the group.
The post model:
about how long you plan to keep the optimus G PRO 2:
member of the group: yes/no
I will choose the winner based on the reputation at my discretion.
Sad to see you go. You did a fantastic job with the Facebook page.
Welcome back to the new Pro 3 next year, anytime, buddy!
I may quit Pro 2 for a while to try Note 4 and come back to LG again for its Pro 3 next year, and hopefully with a Stylus!
I wait BB Passport to say Bye Bye G PRO 2, very sad...
Yep..it's sad. About Lg .. maybe if g pro 3 / g4 will be very popular.. i will re-join lg
I mean all i want from lg is a phone with latest android , nice ui and custom cm rom. For now.. i'm happy with my gs5.
- bad aspects to gs 5:
- No knock code
- i really hate the "sent sms notification" feature.. on lg is way better,
- no alarm unlock by puzzle
- i get 1.5 gb ram eaten from 1.75 (rest is for android) but i can't complain..(i mean the phone is really fast)
- good aspects to gs5:
- the screen is awesome (you can set it in4 ways.. and can get rid of some amoled ****, you get the chance to see the colors more natural)
- camera is great , even selfie camera is great
- i can use 128 gb sdcard
- battery is good
- check at the picture from atachments, exynos octa is really fast.
So.. let's hope we will meet again at g4/g pro 3. (if not .. than iphone 6+)
can you explain the "dead" part on your 1st post?
Yes i can. Look at software. I don't see a custom kernel for g pro 2. No cool apps ported. No impressive roms. Ugly user interface(compared to lg g3) . At least if g pro 2 would have g3 Ui. No updates. (i gave my g pro 2 to my little brother - he's a game addict ..so the g pro 2 is good for him) ..but i still had problems like random reboots when i connected the device to usb cable. If android 4.5 comes.. and than shortly 4.6 and than 4.7 .. lg might skip again like it did with 4.1 -4.4 while samsung and the competition updated their devices to 4.2 , 4.3 and than 4.4 . Now..this is something. Is you ask me..it's better to get 4.2 and 4.3 instead of waiting from 4.1 to 4.4 and when you get 4.4 you don't have half of 4.4 features. (this is what happened with my lg optimus g, before i bought g pro 2). After two weeks i sold the g with 200 $ . After i first booted up my s5.. i got like ~900 mb of updates for performance/ apps/etc. I liked that.
Now...about the facebook group...offer still stands. Let's see some requests.

Is this not a G3 based ROM?
No.
I don't get it, who cares you change a phone. maybe I don't know your important role in lg g pro 2 community's life but I think you won't miss too much. You are trolling the community only w/ this thread...

Nope. Not really. At least this wasn't my intention. And if i'm trolling..this ain't a true community. True community was when i had an optimus black / optimus g. There we used to say good bye from the rest when we moved on.
I was curious, do we lose photo quality when using cm12.1?
I remember on my LG Optimus L90, the camera quality went sour after leaving stock, photos looked more blah and grainy.
Is that the same case on the Moto G 3rd gen?
I really love the camera on here and would hate to lose its quality aha.
Thanks in advance ?

You can test it your self, just take some photo's with stock cam and than switch over to cyanogenmod or any other rom
and take the same picturs. than just compare them
There was a port of stock Motorola Camera and Gallery app to CM12 in this forum somewhere and people say it give stock camera quality
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/2015-moto-g/general/port-motorola-camera-gallery-to-cm12-t3201199
Hi, I simply installed from the play store the Motorola camera on the CM 12.1 and now on the unstable CM13.
I used Open Camera on the moto g 2013, but on the 2015 the Motorola camera has a better feeling. There also a lot of options with the debug button.
I couldn't make out any difference between the stock and CM image quality. Similar results for me. YMMV.

------Reply to Your Inquiry-------
Hi Marko,
Thank you for contacting LG Mobile Communications.
I’d be glad to assist you today with regard your LG G Flex 2 mobile phone. In response to this inquiry, I’m afraid no confirmation has been provided for the LG G Flex 2 unit regarding the Marshmallow update since the software has been released by Google. The reason for the release date variation is because software updates follow a certain process.
For Android, it is faster to receive updates on Google products (for phones, that’s the Nexus line) or on unlocked/rooted units wherein the update may be installed manually (although not supported by LG as this is a customization). For carrier-specific devices, this may take longer and will vary. After a phone manufacturer like LG prepares the software with the help of the developer (Google who made Android), the update will have to run through carriers PCS in order for them to incorporate carrier-specific features - and also test the new software thoroughly on the network. After some collaboration, the carrier will then approve the update and push it out to your device which will then be downloaded and installed through the network signals from your carrier.
As such, you may also directly correspond with your carrier if they already have an estimated date for the release of the update. In case that there’s none yet, I’m afraid we’ll still have to wait. I do apologize.
I hope this information has been helpful in addressing your concern. Should you have any other questions, please feel free to contact us again via Email, Live Chat, or Phone by calling 800-793-8896.
Thank you for choosing LG.
Sincerely,
Jade

Yeah. Typical waste of time response. But its sad that even LG itself is recommending you to buy Nexus because OEM makers have zero interest into updating old devices
Well they said that we should still waiting for updates, but they are almost certainly say that update will come but don't now when, because the tests that need to be done.
I'm really disappointed with that fact, but I'll wait. Hope so that come soon.
This means nothing, standard ctrl+c ctrl+v response.
Reminds me of my first smartphone, my HTC Rezound. Holiday season 2011, it was competing with the Galaxy Nexus running the new ICS. Everybody and their mother said the Rez would be updated from GB quickly to compete with the Nexus. Verizon didn't push ICS until June. Almost killed the community because of how long the wait was.
Sounds like US carriers are giving this G Flex 2 the same red-headed stepchild treatment, delaying the ROM with bloatware and whatever marketing scheme they can think of to make it appealing in their device lineups (like Verizon positioning the Rezound as an "international SIM" device amongst their typical CDMA offers.)
So yeah, "blame the carrier" has been the same response on many smartphones for years and likely many more years to come.
wouldve been more interesting to ask about a boot loader unlock

exactly
"will *insert random phone name* receive update?
yes, just sit & wait, devs working, etc."
@le grande magnetto:
I have to ask, is that a picture of your Flex 2 in your sig? If so, it appears you're using a matte screen protector - if that's true can you tell me which brand you're using? Thanks...

Thats just an hdr filter, sorry to disappoint
I`m thinking right now that because there is no mm update, there never will be. Same as so many good device before LG just drop those too early. I have LG G Pad 8.3 also and it is still 4.4.2. Fortunately theres cyanogenmod and unofficial 13.0 working nicely on that tablet. Give us at least bootloader unlock, PLEASE!!

why you still in 4.4.2 in GPad 8.3?? Meh...the 5.1 came so long ago...i remember had my GPad 8.3 and 3 months later when i brought it they get 5.1...see around the web for some KDZ with 5.1 and flash it on your G Pad 8.3...because you will find the 5.1 to it!
For GF2...we will have to wait until next month...the update will come!
LG is taking too much time to update our phone. I don't reallt know why, it's a great phone that only can get better with every update

Wrong forum? This is for the square LG G Watch W100. Probably you'll get better help in the correct forum.
